RE: FW: GRANT OF LICENSE: Dennis Hamilton LibreOffice contributions

2013-03-10 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton 
Thanks, Rob, I think collecting these on an AOO page where they can be found 
easily is a good idea.

The grants themselves are the digitally-signed parts.

The two grants are now available on-line at

<http://nfoworks.org/dev/2013/03/d130302d.txt> for my ASF contributions
<http://nfoworks.org/dev/2013/03/d130302e.txt> for my LibreOffice contributions

I have also recorded them with the Secretary of the Apache Software Foundation.

In case the need for these outlive me (or the web site, at least), you might
want to link the web page to copies.  I use the text files as definitive 
because 
the signature can be checked reliably, and a copy from a web page might not 
work 
so well.

There will be more explanatory information at the web site, via
<http://nfoworks.org/dev/2013/03/d130302.htm> (barely rough-draft at the 
moment),
but these are the grants.  

There's an awkward wording: "all recipients" might not be
as clear as "all parties obtaining."  I don't want to churn revisions, but I 
will
definitely consider that.  It is of no consequence for now.

Hi Dennis,  You've sent several notes explaining your intent, in
different language, with varying explanations and amplifications.
Maybe it would help if we had a wiki page for such things and then
link to whatever statement you consider to be definitive?  Then we can
easily find it if it becomes relevant.  We could use the same page to
collect any other similar statements from others.

FW: GRANT OF LICENSE: Dennis Hamilton LibreOffice contributions

2013-03-09 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton 
I have made this grant known to The Document Foundation and the
LibreOffice project. The TDF notification appears at 
.

If any use of my contributions to LibreOffice by Apache Projects is
questioned, you can cite this grant if applicable.

Likewise, before someone on AOO becomes too exercised on seeing any 
Apache OpenOffice contribution of mine used by the LibreOffice
project, please have them be aware of the grant I have made
here on the AOO dev list.

I will also provide this information on a web site of mine where it
may be easier to consult and reference.

 - Dennis

PS: One difference.  I replaced "recipients," below, with "parties
obtaining" in the ASF Contributions grant.  I don't want to 
churn these, but I will make that update to the LibO one also if
anyone finds it preferable (and more clear).

Subject: Grant of License

This grant does not specify any particular open-source license.

My intention is to not limit in any way the licensing of works
that my contributions are incorporated in.  The license is self-
contained for that reason.  There is no conflict with how
LibreOffice releases are licensed and there is nothing that has
to be done about the presence of my contributions or derivatives
thereof.

It is also my intention that everyone having access to my
contributions to LibreOffice where they are so contributed be
be granted the license whether or not the contribution is accepted
into LibreOffice and wherever those recipients might choose
to rely on its provisions.

The license makes no stipulations one way or the other concerning
works of mine that are not contributions to LibreOffice.  The
license does not transfer copyright nor does it assign patents.
